Amplification and overexpression of the epidermal growth factor receptor gene in human renal‐cell carcinoma
15 Jun 1990
Abstract excerpt
We examined 22 cases of renal-cell carcinoma (RCC) for structural alterations of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene and found gene amplification in one case of high-stage-high-grade RCC. Dot blot analysis of the total RNA from tumorous and normal kidney tissues revealed overexpression of the EGFR gene in 12 of 20 (60%) cases of RCC. The highest expression was observed in the gene-amplified case. No...
